This post is brought to you by one of Canada’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers. The views and opinions expressed in this blog, however, are purely my own.

Baycrest’s Walk for the Ages – register now

Mon, 07 Jun 2021 16:12:40 +0000

I remember when I was in high school, I always wanted to volunteer somewhere special. I’ve always loved being around the elderly, and since my own grandparents were halfway around the world, I really craved that grandparent bond. That’s why I decided to volunteer at Baycrest, a geriatric residential building that also specializes in healthcare, […]

Why I worry about diabetes and heart health

Thu, 01 Apr 2021 13:28:24 +0000

I’ve recently shared how type 2 diabetes has impacted both of my grandmothers. It was something they both developed later in their lives that they had to deal with daily. My one grandmother had to have her leg amputated because of this disease (which is actually common). Unfortunately, both of my grandmothers passed away from […]

Wed, 03 Mar 2021 15:10:46 +0000

Like many people, I really picked up my baking game during the pandemic. Between my weekly challah and bread baking, I’ve also been baking muffins. I used to make two different types of muffins. Something healthy for me to grab in the morning before my workouts and something for my boys to snack on during […]

Just before COVID, I was strong and healthy; probably in the best shape of my life. A few months earlier, I completed my first marathon and then started working out at Orangetheory Fitness. I’d been attending classes three times a week for a few months and I truly felt like it was the best workout […]

Wed, 18 Nov 2020 19:16:14 +0000

November is Diabetes Awareness Month and chances are, diabetes probably affects you or someone you know. That is why I believe it’s important to share information and spread awareness about this disease, and share my story of how it impacted two very important people in my life. While I lived oceans apart from both of […]

Plant-based, Flourless Apple Muffins Recipe

Wed, 29 Jan 2020 14:33:21 +0000

It’s been a year now since my husband and I have been eating a more plant-based diet. While the transition was hard at first, figuring out how to supplement our diet completely with plant based products, it’s becoming almost second nature now. Once I tackled our daily meals, I made it a point to start […]

Less is More! My guide for 2020.

Tue, 31 Dec 2019 20:25:27 +0000

Heading into 2020, I came up with the phrase of ‘Less is More’ to guide how I want to live my life this year. But before I delve into this further, I feel it’s important to reflect back first. 2019 was the year of ME! That was the word that I selected to define last […]

Winter is a trigger for eczema flare-up. Here’s what you need to know!

Tue, 12 Nov 2019 14:51:56 +0000

Recently I shared a post with you on Kyle’s eczema (also known as atopic dermatitis) flare-up. To be honest, he had it almost the entire summer break. Often it was very mild and not painful, but on a few occasions it was. It always seemed to get worse when we spent long periods of time […]
